Women Break Through Male Fields

From: American Woman - Road and Travel

Washington, D.C./Employment Policy Foundation Women are entering male-dominated fields at increasing rates and for those who are, the payoff is big -- those women now earn the same or more than their male counterparts, according to a new analysis released today from the Employment Policy Foundation.

The top ten white-collar项圈 — a band worn around the neck occupations where women's participation has increased most in the past decade are: veterinarians (female vets have increased from less than 2 percent to 43 percent); top public administrators (37 percent are now women, compared to 4 percent in 1989); math & science teachers (increased 6-fold), chemistry teachers (increased 4-fold); industrial engineers (22 percent are now women, compared to 6 percent in 1989); dentists (increased 4-fold); car salespeople (increased 3-fold); messengers (increased 3-fold); physicians assistants (increased from 20 percent to 58 percent); and members of the clergy (6 percent of clergy members were women in 1989 compared to 18 percent today). Of the 497 occupations tracked by the government, women have increased their representation in 106 job categories.
